spaces. He is not in favor around Mendenhall and Babcock and is not in favor of not having 10ft
sidewalks. The 5ft sidewalk is not a good idea. He supports a traffic study. Listen to what the
Parking Commission has to say. Parking Commission may want to reconsider what a parking
space will cost.

the fee structure.

ft sidewalk, he is not convinced that it needs to be 10ft. He is intrigued by right-of-way
management concept. He can see many alternatives in this area.

Encroaching on driving lanes concerns him. He likes the idea of parking garage; the 300ft does
not have much sway. He understands the encroachment district being different than the 300ft
district. He is somewhat troubled by a first come first serve basis. The rules need to protect the
City but reflect that this is a large investment.
